AASHTO Construction Guide Spec and some DOTs do require wind load during construction (Initial Stage in LBS) to be applied to all girders erected like below screenshot.
Would it be possible to include feature in LBS to allow force/moment load effect to be applied directly on each girder element under the Wind Load Group of the Loads Input Window?
This would be a great feature to enhance LBS for the usage of both design engineer as well as Contractor with their specific field condition. It would also be a great feature to work with the planned feature of Modeling of horizontal bracing, to help prepare for the lateral bracing member design check.
Thank you.
